Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of advances in AI and vehicle autonomy on the UK motor insurance market.

Officials in my department regularly engage with the insurance industry to ensure insurance products will be available in line with the deployment of automated vehicles.

The Automated Vehicles Act 2024 sets out the regulations for insurance requirements for automated vehicles specifically. Our recent call for evidence, launched in December 2025, seeks views on various aspects of the automated vehicles regulatory framework, which includes insurance. Responses received will support future consultation on the proposed regulations, with full implementation of the Act anticipated by the second half of 2027.
